The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 100

He continued;
“As you all know, there has
been a coup against the
president and the house is
under attack. Now the
president has placed all
military bodies including this
one under the minister of
defense so I want control to
get in touch with them, call all
pilots as I want all planes to
be in the air right now”
He stood and saw that
everyone was still looking at
him and doing nothing so he
said;
“What are you all waiting and
standing around for?”

Still they were looking at him
and then he felt blood
trickling on his face and he
put his hand to his face and
realized that some places the
punches struck him, were
oozing blood. He brought the
hand to his face and said;
“This is what we signed up
for and we knew the risks
involved just we never
believed that it will come this
soon or ever come but it is
here and we have to go ahead
with it so people, let’s get to
work”

At that, everyone scrambled
into different directions and
Lai went towards Ayo who
was still shocked standing
over the man he killed. The
man la!d there in his blood
and Ayowas almost shivering
as he could not believe he just
did what he did. Lai patted his
shoulder;

“Thanks bro”
Ayo muttered;
“I am sorry, I did not mean to”
“Well both ways I don’t mind
that you did that. Actually, I
preferred you did because it
could have been me lying
down in blood if you did not
take action”
Lai pulled him away from the
body and as they walked he
said;

“Are you okay? Do you think
you can get in the air today
because I am going to need
the all of you in the air right
now:

“Yes sir, I can do that; I am
more comfortable with that
anyway”

Musa who had dragged the
man he beat up called at Lai;
“Captain, are you sure you are
well enough to be flying right
now? I wouldn’t want you
blacking out on us”

“And leave you boys out there
to go hunting on your own?

Hell no”
The three of them walked on
to the runway where their jets
were positioned and were
met by another pilot standing
beside her jet.

Faith was the only female pilot
of the whole squadron and
one of the seven pilots in the
Air Force. She at first did not
like the posting to Presidential
watch as she was more
pleased with flying to hot
spots with peace keeping
troops because she enjoyed
shooting and the thrill of the
danger but in the presidential
protection, the most they do is
to make test flights and watch
out for incoming potential
threats.

Lai got in his plane and
watched as the officials and
engineers clear the runway
and he heard the voice of the
controller on his radio
“Hawk 001, you are cleared
for takeoff but do you care to
tell us what the plan is?”

“The first thing you should do
is get in touch with the
defense minister and ask
what they want us to do, get
in touch with the other pilots
and tell them there is no off
duty today until this is solved
and please get me in
communication with those
helicopters you said are in
that air space, I won’t want to
blow them out without giving
them the chance to get out
first”

He looked in front and he
said;
“Okay Musa, you know the
drill; I go first, Ayo comes
second and Faith comes
behind. Musa you take my
right and Ayo takes the left
while Faith watches our Six”

“Why do I have to watch your
six?”

“This is not test flight
anymore Faith; I don’t have
time for your sexism”

The response to Faith was
clear;
“Yes sir, do you know what
they orders are yet?”

“Get in the air and circle the
house for now. When we are
in touch with the minister, we
will know what else to do”

Kuyi said to Ifeoma,
“we could send everything we
have at them but we will also
need a coordinated response
from the ground troops
around the house or else we
will just be sending them in
there to their death”

“You sent in Michael and the
Presidential guards did you
not?”

“They went in through the
tunnels; it is much easier that
way. Getting men in there
from the front gates will most
likely end up in some serious
blood shedding. The house
itself is a fortress which is
able to withstand invasion for
a long time. The men I sent in
just have to snatch and grab
some people and drag them
back here not go in and wage
war against them. if I know
Buba well, he would probably
have gunships in the air and a
couple of tanks stationed
around to prevent anyone
from entering.”
